Let's connect.
I offer a free 30-minute phone or video consultation so we can meet, hear a little about what's bringing you in, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue afterward.
NEXT STEPS What happens after you reach out
FAQs
What happens in a first session?
1
Mostly, it's a chance to meet and get oriented together. You can share as much or as little as you'd like about what brought you here, and we'll talk through what you're hoping to get from our work. Nothing needs to come out all at once — we'll go at whatever speed feels manageable for you.
How do I know if we're a good fit?
2
The right therapist makes a real difference. A free 30-minute consultation gives us a chance to connect, hear what you're looking for, and sense whether working together feels right — before you commit to anything.
Do I have to do sessions outdoors?
3
Not at all. Outdoor and walk-and-talk sessions are an option I love to offer, but time in nature is never required. We can meet entirely indoors or virtually and still weave in nature-based practices through imagery, mindfulness, and metaphor.
Can I use insurance?
4
I'm an out-of-network, self-pay provider, so I don't bill insurance directly. Many clients seek out-of-network reimbursement, and I can provide a monthly superbill with the details your plan may need. I'm happy to point you toward what to ask your provider.
I'm carrying a lot of worry about the planet. Can you help with that?
5
Yes. Climate grief, eco-anxiety, and a deep sense of loss about the natural world are real and valid. You might feel sadness, fear, anger, guilt, or numbness. As a climate-aware therapist, I don't treat these as problems to be solved away. Instead, we'll give them room, look at how you're carrying them, and tend to the grounding and resilience that help you keep going.
What's your cancellation policy?
6
I understand that plans sometimes need to change. Your session time is reserved just for you, so please give at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice and missed sessions are charged the full session fee.
